Redang Beach (GPS: 3.50323, 101.09407) is a popular beach in Sekinchan, Selangor. It faces the Straits of Malacca, on the northern side of the mouth of Sungai Labu. Over the past few years, the seaside has become a very happening place, with seastall food stalls sprouting up in front of the Redang Beach Datuk Kong Temple, and the Sekinchan Wishing Tree beside it.

To be honest, Redang Beach isn't a spectacularly beautiful beach. The seabed is muddy here, and reveals itself as such during low tide. There are breakers to check the incoming surf as well as rocks to check coastal erosion. This does not stop the big stream of visitors converging on the beach, particularly on weekends and public holidays.

I arrived at Redang Beach around 11:00 am, and found that the place was jam-packed with visitors. There were children flying kites along the beach, and older people sheltering under the shade of the food stalls.

Having strawberries with nutter butter at Redang Beach (7 July, 2016)


Here's an excellent (and healthy) snack for a road trip: buy a tray of strawberries, and eat them with nutter butter. The sourishness of the strawberries blend perfectly with the sweetness of the nutter butter!
